On one hand we’re glad we have the Premier’s attention.

Entry-level briefing on this unfolding story.

Hoping to see the on-camera interview footage from story’s sources, such as our president Trevor Barry.

We re-iterate that unless the next Ballot Question is Binding, it is illegitimate.

while we are adding to pile of unanswered questions:
-if you (unlike experts) had concerns about the VSCA report level of detail, why did you wait nearly a year to mention it?
